Thanks, Kat.
I have a rectangle of deep burgandy velvet pinned to the wall that I hang my earrings on. I found a wrought iron coathook thingy (multiple hooks) with lots of curlicues on the main panel, and I hang my necklaces all over that. It's kind of full now, though.
My question regarding pegboard, is what do you do with hoop earrings? And little ones? My earrings are just in a box.
Oh my, grep is fast. It can search 10,000 posts (5,446,223 bytes) pretty much instantaneously.
Here is the results from just a single thread (Natter 36):
cat 1487
dog 195
kitten 108
penguin 28
puppy 18
duck 16
(note that this includes taglines)
I bet it'd just take a few seconds to search half a million posts....
Hey -- how do people store their jewelry?
I have a piece of black velvet laid across my lingerie armoire, with everything laid out on top of it. It requires re-organizing (read: tidying) every two months or so, but it's all right there. My daily rings have their own special spot up in front, with my most-worn earrings right next to them. I don't wear necklaces all that often (never to work), so I don't have to worry about laying them out each time. The least-worn stuff gets rotated into a red silk box.
tommy, I think Pandas win because they had a thread title.
Also because they're so cute!
I have a wooden stacking jewelry box, with one layer being little cubbyholes (for earrings), the next layer split in two, with one side pins and one necklaces, and the bottom layer has bracelets. I think I got it at Hold Everything.
Camel = 9.
I think I'll gradually download Natter threads until I get them all.
This is actually very easy, if you have Unix, Linux or a Mac with OS X. If you had a directory of, say, all the Natter threads, you'd just go into a terminal window, change to that directory and type
grep -ci "camel" *
which will return just the count of a case-insensitive search for all occurances of "camel".
I have a small table that has a two jewelry boxes on it (one that I never use, but I got in high school) and a necklace tree, which is a plexiglas pole with a base and a top that has arms sticking out to hang necklaces on. the tree has a plexiglass cylinder that you can put it in, but I don't bother with that.
